Replicas of Columbus' Ships, Pinta & Santa Maria are located at the Corpus Christi Museum of Science & History. They look as though they do need a bit of varnish applied.

Built by Spain to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus' voyages to the New World, they took 5 years to build & cost $6.5m. The 3 ships embarked on a tour of the Mediterranean & Atlantic ports of Europe in 1990 & 1991. After a successful tour of 18 US ports, they arrived at their permanent home port in Corpus Christi in 1993. The Nina, moored at the Corpus Christi Marina, is not open to the public.

A 60 minute Historic Tour on the Alamo Trolley; but as you can hop-on, hop-off at each point of interest, it can take all day.

The Trolley runs from the Alamo Visitor Center, and stops at the Institute of Texan Cultures, Mission San José, Mission Concepción, Market Square, San Fernando Cathedral & La Villita. Many of these photos are purely taken through the window on the trolley - 5 June 2005
